One of the delinquents, who was a little further away and the least timid, was the first to break down. His legs buckled and he knelt down on the ground.
"I...I also submit!"
The other immediately followed suit, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
"We surrender! We surrender!!"
"Boss Kurosaki! From now on, Team A will listen to you!!"
Like a domino effect, the remaining members of Group A no longer hesitated.
They shouted out in unison, their faces filled with awe for absolute power.
Those who know the current affairs are handsome.
They had come to a complete understanding and were no longer harboring any illusions.
Even his own boss, Yuuji Kaji, was instantly defeated by Ryuji Kurosaki.
Resist? That's pure suicide!
Now that Ryuji Kurosaki has joined Suzuran, as long as he's there, following Yuji Tokaji, there's no way they can dominate Group A, let alone Suzuran.
With Kurosaki Ryuji's terrifying strength, he might actually be able to create a miracle and reach the pinnacle that no one in Suzuran has ever reached before.
Furthermore, the main campus of Suzuran has those terrifyingly powerful monsters that are completely beyond my ability to deal with.
Clearly, the only real way out is to follow a strong person like Ryuji Kurosaki.
Chapter 179 The First Tough Challenge for Lily of the Valley
Yuji Tokaji collapsed to the ground, his consciousness teetering on the edge of an abyss of excruciating pain.
The strong smell of blood filled his nasal cavity and mouth, and every weak breath pulled at his seemingly shattered chest, bringing excruciating pain.
He barely managed to open his swollen eyelids, and in his blurred vision, he saw that demon-like figure slowly walking towards him.
Ryuji Kurosaki stopped in front of Yuji Tokaji, his sharp gaze sweeping over the man's face, which was covered in blood and cold sweat and contorted in pain.
His voice was flat and emotionless, yet it carried a chilling, oppressive quality.
"Tokaji... Now, I'll give you one more chance to choose."
"Surrender to me."
Ryuji Kurosaki paused, his tone devoid of threat, simply stating a cold, hard fact:
"If you don't accept..."
"Then I'll come and ask you again tomorrow."
"If you can't accept it tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow."
"Or every day in the future."
"I believe!"
Ryuji Kurosaki's lips twitched slightly upwards: "Beat him a few more times, and you'll eventually make a wise choice."
The calm words, like ice picks, pierced Yuuji Tokaji's eardrums and reached his brain, which was in chaos due to the excruciating pain.
Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Every day?!
Just that punch and kick today have already made him feel like he's lost half his life!
Yuji Tokaji felt a chill instantly rise from his tailbone to the top of his head, and cold sweat instantly soaked through his already dusty and blood-stained uniform.
He could almost see his next two years at Lily of the Valley, not in a classroom, but in a hospital ICU, his body covered in tubes, relying on a ventilator to stay alive—a truly tragic scene.
This is not a choice at all.
This is a notice of a one-way ticket to hell!
Yuji Tokaji swallowed hard the blood churning in his throat, letting out a sigh like a broken bellows, filled with despair and resignation.
He struggled, using his last bit of strength to lift his head and look into Kurosaki Ryuji's unfathomable black eyes. His voice was hoarse and weak, but it still reached Kurosaki Ryuji's ears.
"I...I understand..."
Yuuji Tokaji gasped, "From now on, you're the boss. As long as you're still in Suzuran, you're my boss!"
The implication was crystal clear:
You, Ryuji Kurosaki, are a member of Suzuran. I acknowledge you as my leader and will serve you. I will fight under your command and help you reach the top of Suzuran.
However, if you leave Lily of the Valley, you are no longer a member of Lily of the Valley, and this relationship is automatically dissolved; you will not serve anyone outside of Lily of the Valley.
After all, Yuuji Tokaji entered Suzuran specifically to reach the top. If there was no hope left, then he would take a step back and help someone else reach the top, at least he could still have a share.
However, if Kurosaki Ryuji's visit to Suzuran is merely a stopover and he leaves, then it would contradict Tokaji Yuuji's purpose, and naturally he would not choose to serve him again.
Ryuji Kurosaki looked at him quietly, without any surprise on his face.
He understood the true nature of these "crows" of the lily of the valley better than anyone else.
It's impossible to subdue them with pure force, especially given my other identity, and it's impossible to win their hearts and minds from the start.
They submitted only because their own power made them see no hope of successfully resisting.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, these guys will choose to fight it all and will never give up easily.
However, Ryuji Kurosaki didn't care.
Low loyalty?
It doesn't matter.
As long as Yuuji Tokaji is willing to bow down now and obey orders during his time at Suzuran, and is able to complete the mission requirements, that is enough.
After all, this trip has two main purposes.
1. The task has been completed, and the continuous tasks have been triggered.
Completing tasks will grant you attribute points to make you stronger and upgrade your skills. Most importantly, becoming the head of the Housen Bancho will grant you the skill "Housen's Ambition". So what will you get if you reach the top of Suzuran?
Second: Recruit talents, mainly those with potential values reaching S+ or legendary level, as well as those whose strength has already reached legendary level.
After all, there are many talented people at the high-ranking level in Fengxian, but very few have reached this level of top-level combat power. Whether it is Narumi, Makio, or Ueda Sashio, their potential value is only at the S+ level at most.
Of course, this doesn't mean they're weak. In a regional power, reaching S+ level combat strength is basically considered top-tier.
However, if the scope is expanded to the whole country or even the world, S+ level combat power is not enough.
Therefore, Ryuji Kurosaki only nodded very slightly.
"Very good."
He uttered two words calmly, announcing the initial completion of the recruitment of Group A.
Yuji Tokaji's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he collapsed again. The intense pain and immense mental pressure almost immediately plunged him into a semi-comatose state.
The remaining members of Group A, seeing that even Yuuji Toto had submitted, felt an even greater sense of awe and respect for Ryuji Kurosaki.
........
Behind the Southwest Campus of Lily of the Valley is an outdoor swimming pool.
Takashi Makise was sitting around a dilapidated bench by the pool with about a dozen members of Class C, smoking.
The atmosphere was somewhat somber; they were clearly discussing the chaotic situation at the school.
at this time.
An uninvited guest appeared at the entrance of the pool.
Takashi Makise sensed the unusual sense of oppression almost immediately.
He suddenly raised his head, and when he saw the person's face clearly, his pupils contracted sharply, and he stood up abruptly.
"Ryuji Kurosaki!"
Takashi Makise's voice was filled with undisguised hostility and vigilance. He pointed at Ryuji Kurosaki's uniform, his face showing a mixture of shock and anger: "You came pretty fast, didn't you? I know what you're up to, so don't say anything else!"
"I will never bow down to you, no matter how many times I hit you!"
Takashi Makise's voice echoed by the empty poolside, filled with indomitable courage.
The other members of Group C were also infected by him, and they all stood up, their faces showing tension, but also a sense of shared hatred for the enemy.
Ryuji Kurosaki looked at Takashi Makise, who was like an angry bull, but his face remained expressionless.
He simply nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Roar!!!"
Takashi Makise let out a deafening roar, and his massive body burst forth with astonishing speed, charging towards Ryuji Kurosaki like a mad rhinoceros.
He swung his fist, channeling all his strength and rage, and slammed it down hard on Kurosaki Ryuji's face without any fancy moves.
The force of the punches was astonishing, with a whistling wind.
However, brute force seems so clumsy in the face of absolute speed and skill.
Ryuji Kurosaki didn't even take a single step back.
Just as Makise Takashi's fist was about to touch his nose, his upper body swayed back very slightly, like a ghost, perfectly avoiding the fierce punch.
The force of the punch grazed his silver hair.
At the same time, as Kurosaki Ryuji's body swayed, his right fist struck Makise Takashi's abdomen solidly, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole!
Boom! ! !
A dull and heart-pounding noise!
The rage on Takashi Makise's face froze instantly, then twisted into extreme pain.
He felt as if a red-hot iron rod had pierced his stomach, and all his strength, all his roar, all his momentum vanished instantly under that punch.
His body arched violently, like a boiled shrimp, his eyes bulging, his mouth wide open making a hissing sound as blood gushed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.
The immense impact even lifted his feet off the ground instantly, as if all his bones had been removed. Then, his knees buckled, and he collapsed heavily to his knees on the cold, rough cement floor with a thud.
Takashi Makise clutched his throbbing, convulsing abdomen with both hands, his body curled up in a ball, violent coughing accompanied by a constant flow of blood from his mouth.
The whole process was so fast that the members of Group C next to them didn't even have time to react.
The instant after Makise Takashi knelt down and vomited blood.
Without pausing, Kurosaki Ryuji's left leg shot up like a steel whip and landed squarely on Makise Takashi.
boom! ! !
Another muffled sound!
Takashi Makise's entire body was like a giant, broken sandbag, kicked off the ground by this immense force.
The blood he spat out drew a brief line in the air as he arced through the air and crashed heavily into the swimming pool.
A huge splash of water instantly rose high into the air.
Takashi Makise's body bobbed in and out of the water for a moment before struggling to surface. A violent cough and choking sounds mixed with painful groans filled the air. Pool water mixed with blood gushed from his mouth and nose, leaving him in a sorry state and completely unable to resist.
".々Makise?!"
“How…How is this possible?!”
"It was resolved in an instant?!"
The dozen or so members of Group C on the shore were all stunned. They stared blankly at Makise Takashi, who was struggling painfully in the murky pool water, their faces filled with extreme shock and disbelief.
I never imagined that my boss would be so easily defeated by that Kurosaki Ryuji!
Ryuji Kurosaki slowly withdrew his foot, his gaze sweeping over the group of stunned C-team members on the shore: "What about you guys, do you want to fight?"
Despite their deep fear of Ryuji Kurosaki and despite witnessing Takashi Makise being instantly killed, the members of Group C (Okay) still possessed a strong sense of patriotism.
"Damn it! Let's fight him!"
"Avenge Makise!!"
"Go together!!"
After a brief silence, someone let out a howl filled with fear and despair. The remaining dozen or so members of Group C, like a pack of wolves driven to the brink, unleashed their final ferocity under immense pressure.
They roared and waved their fists, charging towards Ryuji Kurosaki from different directions, disregarding everything else!
